Lyrics:

[English]

[中文]

Counting all different ideas drifting away

數著那些漸漸消逝的不同想法

Past and present, they don't matter

過去和現在，都不重要

Now the future's sorted out

現在未來已成定局

Watch her moving in elliptical patterns

看著她在橢圓軌跡中移動

Think it's not what you say

覺得重要的不是你說了什麼

What you say is way too complicated

你說的太過複雜

For a minute, though, I couldn't tell how to fall out

但有一瞬間，我不知如何抽身

It's twenty seconds till the last call

離最後的呼喚還有二十秒

Calling hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

呼喊著 嘿，嘿，嘿，嘿，嘿，嘿

Lie down, you know it's easy

躺下吧，你知道這很容易

Like we did it all summer long

就像我們整個夏天做的那樣

And I'll be anything you ask, and more

我會成為你要求的任何，甚至更多

Going hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

不停 嘿，嘿，嘿，嘿，嘿，嘿，嘿

It's not a miracle we needed

我們並不需要奇蹟

No, I wouldn't let you think so

不，我不會讓你這麼想

Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it

折疊它，折疊它，折疊它，折疊它

Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it

折疊它，折疊它，折疊它，折疊它

Girlfriend, oh, your girlfriend is drifting away

女朋友，哦，你的女朋友正在漸漸遠離

Past and present eighteen-fifty five nineteen oh one

過去和現在，一八五五，一九零一

Watch them build up a material tower

看著他們建造一座物質的高塔

Think it's not gonna stay

覺得它不會長久

Anyway, I think it's overrated

無論如何，我覺得它被高估了

For a minute thought I couldn't tell how to fall out

有一瞬間我不知如何抽身

It's twenty seconds till the last call

離最後的呼喚還有二十秒

Calling hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

呼喊著 嘿，嘿，嘿，嘿，嘿，嘿

Lie down, you know it's easy

躺下吧，你知道這很容易

Like we did it all summer long

就像我們整個夏天做的那樣

And I'll be anything you ask, and more

我會成為你要求的任何，甚至更多

Going hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

不停 嘿，嘿，嘿，嘿，嘿，嘿，嘿

It's not a miracle we needed

我們並不需要奇蹟

No, I wouldn't let you think so

不，我不會讓你這麼想

Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it

折疊它，折疊它，折疊它，折疊它

Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it

折疊它，折疊它，折疊它，折疊它

Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it

折疊它，折疊它，折疊它，折疊它

Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it

折疊它，折疊它，折疊它，折疊它

Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it

折疊它，折疊它，折疊它，折疊它

Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it

折疊它，折疊它，折疊它，折疊它

...
